The project is aimed at knowing the Congress workers, their ideas and views and in gathering feedback directly from the grassroots level, adding it will enable dialogue between women workers, from booth level onwards, and senior leadership.
The committee president, Joplin S Shylla, said that under this project, many women workers are being enrolled and this is a medium to get in touch with the leadership.
